New Mod to Mark III
Well I got this gun a couple of weeks ago. Shot about 50 rounds through it and decided it needed dressing up abit. I just finished this a few mins ago I put colt 1911 grips on her. This is the 22/45 model so you have to grind off the fctory grips and install these. alot of work But I like it.

you would not believe how much better this gun feels in my hands..Now I have to take here all apart for a good cleaning and to install a mark 2 trigger bushing and do away with the mag release. This gun is way too fun.

I want to know more about what modifications you did.

Can you elaborate?

I wonder how the MKIII would look with a pair of VZ Grips.
